While the arrest was about two specific women, many others, including powerful Hollywood figures, have shared their opinions about the arrest. Actress Rose McGowan, who has claimed that Weinstein raped her and reached a settlement with her in 1997, talked about Weinstein’s arrest during an appearance on Megyn Kelly Today. “We got you,” McGowan said on the show, addressing Weinstein. She also said it was a “very good feeling” to see Weinstein in handcuffs.

Actress Heather Graham, who has spoken out about her own experience with Weinstein, tweeted that his arrest is “just the beginning.”

It’s about time: Harvey Weinstein turned himself in this morning and is in police custody. Today, instead of focusing on him, I will be celebrating all of the powerful women out there. This is just the beginning #TheFutureIsFemalehttps://t.co/OexdY6U809

Ashley Judd, who has sued Weinstein for damaging her career, also wrote a lengthy caption in her Instagram post about Weinstein’s arrest. Quoting from her upcoming op-ed, which will be published by Time, Judd wrote in the caption that Weinstein’s arrest was a “watershed event, an irreversible pivot away from tacit and explicit license to exploit to a ground of firmer boundaries and clarity about unacceptable behavior no longer being tolerated.”

Weinstein accuser Sarah Ann Masse tweeted that the arrest is “one step in the right direction.”

I'm crying. This is one step in the right direction, there is still a long road ahead, but for every person who has been abused, for those of us who have spoken either publicly or privately to bring these abusers down, this is a victory.✊❤ #metoohttps://t.co/SdmKwjmG63
